Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump to Decide on Marijuana Reclassification in Coming Weeks
Caption: Trump to Decide on Marijuana Reclassification in Coming Weeks. President Donald Trump announced that his administration is considering reclassifying marijuana and will make a decision in the coming weeks. Trump described the issue as complicated, acknowledging both positive medical uses and concerns about marijuana's broader impacts. His comments follow a Wall Street Journal report suggesting Trump may reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. Some conservative figures, including ally Charlie Kirk, oppose reclassification, citing concerns about public spaces and marijuana use. Trump did not confirm whether he will reclassify marijuana but emphasized that his administration would consider the change. Reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule III drug would reduce penalties without fully legalizing it, leaving it still regulated. Ahead of the 2024 elections, Trump supported a Florida amendment for statewide marijuana legalization, though voters rejected it. On Truth Social, Trump reiterated his support for ending arrests for small amounts of marijuana and exploring its medical uses. Trump expressed a desire to implement smart regulations while providing adults with access to safe, tested marijuana products.
